Our Take

Ah, Tragically Hip. The band that made "Canadiana" cool before it was even a thing. And here we have it, the 30th Anniversary reissue of their iconic album "Road Apples".

From the first twang of Gord Downie's voice to the rollicking guitar riffs, "Road Apples" is a delicious blend of heartland rock and poetic lyricism. The band's ability to tap into the soul of a nation while still maintaining a sense of wit and charm is truly astounding.

Tracks like "Little Bones" and "Twist My Arm" showcase the band's knack for catchy hooks and infectious energy, while slower, more introspective moments like "Fiddler's Green" and "38 Years Old" prove that The Hip can tug at your heartstrings just as easily as they can make you want to dance.

The production on this reissue is top-notch, with every instrument and vocal line crystal clear and vibrant. It's like hearing the album for the first time all over again, but with the added bonus of nostalgia and appreciation for a band that has stood the test of time.

Overall, "Road Apples" remains a timeless classic that deserves a place in every music lover's collection. So grab a pint of beer, put on your best plaid shirt, and dive into this masterpiece from one of Canada's finest musical exports. A must-listen for fans old and new alike. Cheers, eh!

About the artist

The Tragically Hip

Tragically Hip are Canadian national treasures, a band whose name alone conjures up images of sweaty arena shows and anthemic rock tunes. Fronted by the enigmatic Gord Downie, the band became synonymous with Canadian pride and poetic storytelling over their three-decade career. These Canuck heroes first burst onto the scene in the late 80s, capturing the hearts of fans with their unique blend of folk-rock and Americana influences. With iconic hits like "Bobcaygeon" and "Courage," Tragically Hip solidified themselves as one of the most beloved bands in Canada and beyond. But what truly sets Tragically Hip apart is Downie's mesmerising stage presence. The man is a force of nature, captivating audiences with his quirky dance moves and impassioned vocals. His lyrics are both cryptic and poignant, often drawing on Canadian history and culture for inspiration. Despite their immense success in their home country, Tragically Hip never quite broke through in the US. But that's part of their charm - they're a hidden gem, a band that you feel privileged to know about. Tragically Hip's legacy lives on, even after Downie's tragic passing in 2017. Their music continues to resonate with fans old and new, a testament to the timeless quality of their songwriting. So next time you're feeling a bit nostalgic for those hazy summer nights of your youth, throw on a Tragically Hip record and let the music transport you back to a simpler time. Just make sure you have a cold beer in hand - it's what Gord would have wanted.
